So, Ive seen that some of good/popular horror movies have a bad imdb rating.
Lets take for example, Annabelle (2014), IMO its a good movie and a rating of 5.4/10 meanwhile Mama (2013), which in my opinion is the shittiest movie ever made in this world, and which has a rating of 6.2/10!
Another great example is Paranormal Activity 4 (2012), in top 10 Horror movies of 2012, (and top 10 movies of 2012 I guess), has a rating of 4.6/10! I, and many others believe that the movie is good (not great), and Imo should have a rating of at least 6.5/10!
On the other hand we have Tales of Haloween (2015) which IMO its a overrated movie (5.4). With all its "amateur" work, including special effects and realism of characters, should have a rating of 4.5/10, and Lazarus Effect (2015) which is a great movie, and I believe that the plot, is good, and better than Tales of Haloween (2015) and way way better than Mama (2013).
I can mention that Grave Encounters (2011) and The Gallows (2015) IMO are both at same level, a rating of 5.7 up to 6. Meanwhile Grave Encounters (2011) has a rating of 6.1 (deserved), special effects are amazing, and the plot is amazing, and The Gallows (2015) has a rating of 4.3 with great special effects and plot same as Grave Encounters (2011), and also both listed in top 10 horror movies of the year (respectively 2011 and 2015)
And finally, Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension (2015) which IMO is a good movie, has a terrible rating of 4.5, which IMO should be at least 5.5 or 6.
I know having a rating of 6 is not that easy, but comparing to other shitty movies (of all genres), those movies are underrated.
TL;DR
Why good horror movies are underrated, and some bad horror movies and other movies are overrated.
I have seen all movies mentioned above, so I know what im talking about. (maybe 1-2 I havent seen)
